Michael Giacchino tries his best T-Rex impression.
The glorious Michael Giacchino, of STAR TREK, SUPER 8, Fringe and pretty much most things J.J. Abrams, is set to score the upcoming dino-adventure reboot, re-launch, re-invention JURASSIC WORLD.
This is a good sign for Colin Trevorrow’s return to the Isla Nublar world and Giacchino has been on the rise for a while now, you’ll also know his sensitive side for the likes of UP (plus THE INCREDIBLES and RATATOUILLE) and those slow-mo beach reunions in Lost, and I think they’re all a perfect fit. There are also rumours that he’ll be possibly be using some of John Williams score, it’d be hard not to, but at the moment it all seems like new work is on the way. Interestingly, one of the first orchestral scores was for a video game and which one was that? None other than Steven Spielberg’s The Lost World, so it is great to see it all come back around to him. The composer had this to say:
“[It] is an incredible opportunity to bring full circle the journey of dinosaurs and film that started in my backyard over 30 years ago.”
We also mention John Williams because of this comment by the director:
“While this new score will honour the indelible work of John Williams, our mission is the same as the film itself — to create something bold and new for people who love dinosaurs.”
That feels like we’ll get the edge of that theme, alongside a whole new exploration and I’m sure the whole team is more than capable of bringing one of my favourite franchises back from extinction…JURASSIC WORLD opens on June 12th in the UK and USA.
